The rules shall provide for reasonable variations and tolerances.
(b) Except as otherwise provided by this section, a commodity in package form shall be plainly and conspicuously marked on the outside of the package with:

(d) The department by rule shall prescribe reasonable variations or tolerances for the statement of net quantity required under Subsection (b)(1) of this section.
(e) A box or carton used for shipping purposes containing a number of packages that are individually marked in accordance with Subsection (b) of this section is not required to be marked in accordance with that subsection.
(f) A commodity is in package form if for wholesale or retail it:
(1) is in a package, carton, case, can, box, bag, barrel, bottle, or phial, on a spool or similar holder, in a container or band, in a roll, ball, coil, skein, or other receptacle, or in coverings or wrappings of any kind;

(3) is suitable for labeling, branding, stenciling, or marking in another manner; and
(4) makes one complete package.
(g) This section does not apply to bales of cotton, commodities in package form of which the manner of sale is regulated by other law, or to stationery in tablet form.
(h) A person commits an offense if the person sells, keeps for sale, or offers or exposes for sale a commodity in package form that is:
(1) not labeled in accordance with this section;
(2) in a container that is made, formed, filled, or wrapped so as to mislead the purchaser as to the quantity of the contents; or
